For me, the greatest joy of photography is the experience of intimate observation. Originally from a small town in Texas, I lived and traveled throughout the world before making New York City my home in the early ‘80s following my graduation from Harvard Law School. After careers in corporate law and investment banking and a lengthy sabbatical to raise my family and pursue volunteer work for various human rights organizations, I finally found my passion—photography—several years ago. Since then, my fine arts photography has appeared in numerous shows and publications and won several awards. I also frequently work with not-for-profit organizations to help further their missions through strategic photography projects, and I accept commissions for commercial projects from time to time.
